For some context...
My wife and I purchased this house in early March of 2022 and the lawn was not the only thing that needed attention. The house was very dated, quite built but very dated.
The house and property were built right with good bones and detail but was not taken care of as of late.
The flower beds were plentiful and overgrown. The lawn consisted of most St Augustine, a thick area of zoysia, and some bermuda throughout.
The lawn size is approx. 15k sq ft. Irrigation for front, side yards and flower beds.
-----Plan is to kill current front and side yards and sprig with Celebration Bermuda----
Started out with getting a soil sample in mid-March to see the baselines and everything was low including the pH.
Scalped the lawn after working on the inside of the house and back from work around the first week of April. Lowest setting on my honda walk behind.
Since then we have cut down two bradford pear trees and a pecan tree(under power lines) and plan to stump grind them when the limbs are picked up from the city.
Weekend of April 9th, applied lime at 35 pounds per thousand to up the pH. Applied triple 13 at a rate of 1 pound per thousand to get nutrients into the ground. Applied Andersons granular humic also.
Tuesday April 12th, applied 4 oz per thousand of glyphosate to the front and side yard.
Friday April 15th, applied 8 oz per thousand of gloyphosate to the front and side yard.
Ripped out the flower beds in the front and side of the house and plan to replant them.
Pictures to follow.
